I will be starting work on my full blown portal system in the next few weeks as part of my University Degree so any ideas let me know

An image or picture of the day box that pulls the pics from a specified forum and resizes via GD functions and displays the pic on the front vbindex page in a nice, neat, box.

Formatted for caption and description, and when the image is clicked, either a template with the full blown image is shown, or even just a javascript window would be cool.

Chris M · #**794** 10-24-2002, 01:43 PM

Hmmm...

How about something like a Staff Members Box or something?

Nice idea, I like it

I'll look into this one. Not sure if I can test it very well as I don't know if GD works properly on my server, but I'll look into it.

Should be pretty easy and its only a one query job, I may add this in before the 2.1 final

excellent. i've been holding off on my other styles, as i don't have to be changing too many extra sets of templates.

looking forward to it.

Well, here's what I seemed to have figured out. I uploaded the vbi_install.php file for the RC2 vbindex. I clicked to uninstall 2.1 completely and it said it uninstalled it correctly.

So then I clicked on upgrade from 2.0.1 and here is what I got.

Not sure how to uninstall 2.0.1 after I uninstall 2.1. Any ideas?

Groovesalad,

Code:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE thread ADD tpostid int( 10 ) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'tpostid'

mysql error number: 1060

Date: Thursday 24th of October 2002 05:42:48 PM
Script: http://groove-salad.com/forum/forum...step=upgrade201
Referer: http://www.groove-salad.com/forum/admin/vbi_install.php

What this code is telling you is that MYSQL is attempting to alter a table known as THREAD by adding a column called TPOSTID to it. Notice the error: "Duplicate column name 'tpostid'"?
This means that it already exists.

Here's what you do:
Go into myphpadmin or sql server admin of choice, drop that table.

Run the install for 2.1 THEN do setpostid.php if and only if your news doesn't show up.

Hope that helps.
